Hi everyone, I am looking for some advise really. Recently I woke up to find someone has keyed the sides of my car whilst parked outside my house, on my road. I've not done anything wrong to anyone so you can imagine how annoyed I was at this! So, I am going to install a new CCTV system at home. I have experience with fitting analogue systems and HD-SDI however after searching on the internet it seems that IP would be the way to go when fitting a system from scratch. I am looking at spending around £500 on the hardware it's self including NVR (4 channel), Cameras, POE switch and cabling. The NVR I was looking at is Samsung WiseNet Lite SRN-473S 4ch NVR with 3 of these cameras: Samsung Wisenet Lite SNV-L6083R. The cameras are 2MP in 1080p with 20m IR. My main question is will there be any lag with the camera's? Or should the video be smooth in operation? Also am I better off going with IP over HD-SDI / anagloue? When trying to fit within budget it seems IP is the way to go with regards to quality of the surveillance but I don't want there to be any lag. If my car gets vandalised again I want the best possible chance of catching who is doing it. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated!

Hi everyone. I'm a newbie to the whole CCTV system and after getting completely ripped off by the last person who fitted one for me I decided to give things ago myself. But today I came across a problem, i'll explain the system we have at the moment: 16 channel Alien Eko DVR 5 Luminite GX250 PIR sensors 6 NiteDevil CCTV camera's. One of the camera's wasn't working today so I disconnected it from the power supply and coax and took it into the office so I could use a short piece of Cat5e and test the camera to see if it was the camera or the wiring. Because the only space left on the PSU didn't have a fuse, I removed the fuse from the one which half of our PIR's are hooked upto and into the free space. As I thought, the camera was damaged so I replaced the fuse back with the PIR's and expected everything to work fine. But since I did this the PIR's which were on that port won't pick up a detection. Is there something I need to do to reset them? The GX250's have a LED inside, which when powered up if you walk past the detection area the LED will light up, but it won't even do this... Does anyone have an idea? I understand the PIR's should each have their own 12v port but for some reason the fella who fitted my kit has 2 maybe 3 running off one port, which all worked fine until I messed about with the fuse. I thought just fitting the fuse back in it would resume normal service. Thanks for reading and I appreciate any help.
